Familiarity with McNabb will aid Cowboys defense

Donovan McNabb is 3-7 against the Cowboys in his last 10 starts with the Eagles.

Now a Redskin, McNabb faces a defense in the opener Sunday night that intercepted him three times last season and sacked him 11 times. Those numbers are a big reason why Philadelphia was 0-3 against Dallas last season.

Look for McNabb’s struggles against the Cowboys to continue.

“We know him as a quarterback,” Dallas safety Gerald Sensabaugh said. “We know what he likes to throw. We know his strengths and his weaknesses. We had a good feel for the Eagles last year. Now we’re working on that for the Redskins.”
